The Thriftless Farmer.
The thriftless farmer provides no shelter for
his cattle during the inclemency of the winter
but permits them to stand shivering by the
side of a feuce, or lie iu the snow, as best suits
them.
Tie throws their fodder on the ground, or in
the mud, aud not unfrequeutly in the highway,
by which a large portion of it, and all the
manure is wasted.
He grazes his meadows in fall and spring bv
which they are gradually exhausted and finally
ruined.
His fences are old and poor, just such as to
let his neighbor's cattle break, into his field,
aud teach his own to be unruly and spoil his
crops.
He neglects to keep the manure from arousd
the sills of his barn—if he has one—by which
they are prematurely rotted, and his barn de
stroyed.
He tills, or skims over the surface of his
land uutii it is exhausted ; but never thinks it
worth while to manure or clover it. For the
first he has no time, aud for the last he " is not
able."
He has a place for nothing, and nothing in
its place. He consequently wants a hoe or a
rake, or a hammer, or au auger, but knows
not where to find them, and thus loses much
time.
He loiters away storm# days and evenings,
when he should be repairing his utensils, or
improving his mind by reading useful books or
newspapers,
He spends much time in town at the corner
of the streets or in the "rum holes,"complain
ing of hard times, and goes home in the even
ing " pretty well tore?
He lias no shed for his firewood ; conse
quently his wife is out of humor, and his meals
put of season.
He plants a few fruit trees, and his cattle
forthwith destroy them. He " has no luck iu
raising fruit."
Lot us look now at the thrifty farmer.
He has good sheds to keep his eattle from
tUff weather, and warm, ventilated stables for
h* cows and young stock ; and also, a shed to
protect his manure heap.
He has leaves or other refuse vegetable
matter together with soil from his headlands,
convenient to his barn-yard, to compost with
his manure heap through the winter.
He does not allow the liquid manure to escape
into the nearest stream, a quarter or half a mile
from his barn-yard.
His barn, and sheds, and dwellings are all
supplied with good spouting.
His fences are always in good order, and
materials for repairing or renewal are collected
aud made during the winter.
His wood-shed is supplied with wood cut in
August, always one year ahead.
His wife never scolds, because she never has
occasion to.
Her cellar and pantry are always supplied
with the needful rate material, which she works
up into a palatable form to till up vacuums at
meal time.
Heavy bread, cold buckwheat cakes, and
raucid butter are novelties which her good
man and the children have heard tell by some
of the neighbors ; but have never seen.
He considers it a duty to promote the circu
lation of agricultural papers, and has saved
himself some hundreds of dollars by following
their advice.
His crops are always equal, and often better
than any in the neighborhood, and are kept
clear of weeds.
He watches the markets and sells his crops
at the highest prices.
He makes it a rule always to spend a little j
less than he makes.
lie buys and sells on the cash principle, and
thus saves himself from losses and bad debts.
He has a large fruit orchard, well supplied
with every variety of fruit to ripen iu succes
sion.
, He studies the theori/ as well as the practice
of fanning, has cleared off the last 100 dollars
of mortgage, and is seriously talking of mak
ing a bid for his neighbor Sloven's farm, which
is up at Sheriffs sale.
He goes to church on the Sabbath, minds
his religious duties, and brings up his children
to do the same, lives respected, and dies re
gretted, as a useful man aud a good Christian.
Farmers' Magazine'.
TITF. USE OF LEAVES.— The office and utility
of leaves are becoming better understood by
cultivators than formerly ; yet we find a good
many still adhering to the old belief that the
snns's rays, directly shining on forming fruit,
are what perfect it, independently of other
influences.
On this subject theory and practice have
been invariably found in perfect accordance
with each other. The principles of physiology
teach us that the sap of a tree, when it passes
hi at the roots, remains nearly unchanged in
its upward progress through stem and branches,
until it reaches the leaves, where, being spread
out in those thin organs, to light ami air, it
undergoes a complete change, and thus be
comes suited to the formation of a new wood
and new fruit.
Strip a rapidly growing tree of its leaves at
mid-summer, ami from that moment the supply
♦if new wood ceases, and it will grow no more
till new leaves are formed ; and if it have young
fruit, the growth aud maturity of the latter
will cease in the same way. A few days since,
a Yellow Gage Plum tree lost all its foliage
from leaf-blight, when the plums were not
fully grown, and while yet destitute of flavor.
The fruit remained stationary and unaltered,
until within a few weeks, a second crop of
Jeavcs came out. Tliev then swelled to full
size, received their crimson dots, and assumed
their honeyed sweetness of flavor.
The object of prunning should be, therefore,
to allrrtv the leaves to grow to full size without
being injured from crowding.
We find the following corroborative fact in
a late number of the Neie England Farmer :
We once knew an intelligent lady, and one
who understood much about horticulture, strip
her grajie vines of a portion of tlu-ir leaves, iu
oilier to Ut in the sum ami ripen the fruit ; but
to her surprise, where the leaves remained as
Nature had disposed, them, the grppes were
* the earliest, and every way the best. This lest!
. .kr to investigate the matter, when slio was
delighted to learn that the leaves were not only
tlu 'protectors but caterers of the fruit, constantly
, elaborating and supplying it with the pabulum
it required to bring it to perfection.— Country

AVER S PILLS.
AND CITERRY PECTORAL.—Tbc fol
jt V lowing remedies are offered to the public as the
most perfect, which medical science can afford. AYKK
CATHAKTIC PILLS liave been prepared with the utmost
-kill which the medical profession of this age possesses,
and their effects show they have virtues which surpass
any combination of medicines hitherto known. Other pre
parations do more or les gooil : but this cures such dan
gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prove an (
efficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any thing
which men have known before. By removing the obstruc
tions of the internal organs and stimulating them into
healthy action, they renovate the fountains of life and
vigor—health courses anew through the body, and the
sick man is well again. They are adapted to disease, and
disease oulv, for when taken by one in health they pro
duce but little effect. This Is the jierfection of medicine.
It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender chil
dren may take them with impunity. If they are sick they
will cure them, if they are well they will do them no
harm.
Give them to some patient who has been prostrated with
bilious complaint; see his hent-up, tottering form straight
en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return ;
see his clammy features blossom into health. Give them
lo some sufferer whose toul blood has burst out in scrotula
till his skin is covered with sores ; who stands, or sits, or
ies in anguish, lie has been drenched inside and out with
exerv everv potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give
him these falls, and mark the effect; see the scabs fall
from his body : see the new, fair skin that has grown un
der them : see the late leper that is clean. Give them to
him whose angry humors have planted rheumatism in his
joints and bones": move him, and he screeches with pain :
he too has been soaked through every muscle of his liody
with linaments and salves ; give him these Pills to purify
his blood ; they may not cure him, for olas ! there cases
which 110 mortal power can reach ; but mark, he walks
with crutches now. and now lie walkes alone : they have
cured liitn. Give them to the lean, sour,haggard dyspep
tic. whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every
smile from his face and everv mnsele from his body. See
his appetite return, and with it his health : see the new
man. See her that was radiant with health and loveliness
blasted and too early withering away ; want of exercise,
or mental angui.-h, or some lurking disease has deranged
the internal orgaua of digestion, assimilation, or secretion,
till they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated,
her health is gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate the
vital principle into renewed vigor, to ea-t out the obstruc
tions, and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now look
again—the roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow :
sat. joy hursts from every feature. Seethe sweet infant
wasted with worms. It- wan, sickly features tell you
without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they are eat
ing its life away. Its pirn !ied-np nose and ears, and rest
less sleeping-, tell the dreadful truth in language which
everv mother knows. Give it the Pills in large doses to
sweep these vile parasites from the body. .Vow turn again
and see the rudily bloom of childhood. Is it nothing to
do these things ?° Xay, are they not the marvel of this
age ? And yet they are done around you every day.
Have you "the le-s serious symptoms of these distempers,
they are the easier cured. Jaundice, t'ostiverie-s. Head

Through a trial of many year- and through every nation
of civilized me, AYEK'S CHKKKY PECTORAL has been found
to afford more relief and to cure more cases of pulmonary
disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cast s
of apparently settled Consumption have been cured by it.
and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond the
reach ot human aid have becu restored to their friends and
usefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments of life, by
this all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs and
throat. Here a cold had settled on the lungs. The dry,
hacking cough, the glas-y eye, ami the pale, thin features
of him who was lately lusty and strong whisper to all hut
him CoNst MiTtoN. He trie- everything: hat the disease
is gnawing at Irs vitals, and show- its fatal symptoms
more and more over all his fame. He is taking the Cher
ry Pectoral now : it lias -topped his cough and ni.ida In
breathing easy : his sleep in sound at night : his appetite
returns, and with it his strength. The dart which pter< ed
his side is broken. Scarcely any ucighlmrhnod can be
found which has n< t some living trophy like this to shad
ow forth the virtue- which have won for the Cherry Pec
toral an imperishable renown. Influenzal. Croup. Bron
chitis, Hoar-eness, Pleurisy, Whooping Cough, and all ir
ritations of the throat ami lungs arc easily cured by the
Cherry I Vetera lif taken in season. Every family should
have it by them, and they will iiml it an idvaluahle pro
tection from the insidious prowler which carries off the
parent sheep from many a dock, the darling lamb from
many a home.

p H. DANA'S HAND CORN PLAX-
V '• TEtt . patented September 5, 1854, costs ONLY
THREE DOLLARS, and is therefore within the means of
every man who plants half an acre of ground. It is sim
ple in its construction, and executes its work with accura
cy and despatch on various kinds of soil.
Cnlike other planters, it has no gearing to get out of
repair, hut is carried in the hand like a cane, and can he
worked up hill or down: as well as on level ground, plant
ing as much ground in a day as five men can with hoes. —
It may also he used to plant beans, as it can lie guaged to
drop as few or as many kernels as desired. It is meeting
, with unprecedented success everywhere it is introduced,
having been presented at several Agricultural fairs, and
always without exception received the highest premium,
being the best and cheapest implement of the kimfin use.
The undersigned, having purchased the right of selling
the said Planters in Bradford county, will canvass the
, county in April, at which time he will supply those who
wish, or dispose of Town Rights to any who wish to pur
chase. J AS. I). SYKES.

DAVIS' PLATFORM B2S KIVE.
rpHE suliscribor having been appointed Agent for the
A counties of Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming, has the
; pleasure of calling the attention of the public to this useful
invention. The Hive is truly a great improvement on the
•>ld square box ; and the facilities it affords for taking out
the honey are.as harmless to the bees, as they are profita
ble to the owner. No resort to drums and pans is needed
to hive the increase in the spring, and no resort to brim
stone. fire and fagot is required to conquer the bees and
procure their honey in the fall. As the bees multiply,
new sections are added to the hive : and when the honey
is wanted, they are removed accordingly. The arrange
ment- for feeding the bees, for changing thonT to different
parts of the old hive, or to a new one, for ventilation, are
iinqiicstioni|lily ahead of any tiling hitherto known.
A description ol tlii- Hive is impossible, without refer
ence to a model, hut an examination will satisfy any one
of its advantages. For sale, Town and Individual Rights,
with hooks, hill of feed, Ac., giving full directions for ma
king the Hive, and managing the Bees.

DK. IIALSEYS' FOREST WINE —The ,
discovery of the B >RKST WINK is the greatest hies- j
sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, u single bottle '
rrf" which it'f rrmre good, anil {rocs further in the cure of
Disease, than tan bottles of any Sarsaparilla in use, and
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening
effect.
The method bv which all Rarssaparillas.and other simi- |
lar medicines are prewired, is hv boiling the Jtoots of plants
to obtain the extract-. Their nieilieinal virtues are thus
principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to be wondered at then. that. 10 and even 20
bottles of these Sarsaparißa- are sometimes taken without
any |>ereeptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.
lly the invention of a wonderfulrhemienf apparatus, a per
fect wine is produced without lieating; retaining, at the
same time, ail the primitive healing properties of the rare
medicinal plants of which it is composed, thus rendering
the Forest Wine the most efficient medicine the world ever
produced, at the same time time the most agreeable. !
TESTIMONY.
This is to certify, that 1 have used Dr. Halsey's Forest
Wine in my family with the most entire success." My wife ;
was baiHy "afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re- |
lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
Frors ray own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I
confidently recommend tt (or the good of others who may
be suffering from similar eoocphoots, it is rh* best medi
cine with which I am acquainted, and those who are afflic- j
ted with the above, or any similar disease, may safely re- 1
ly oil its virtues. K. 11. MUSSEY.
